story from Jun 5, 2010, titled California seeks to ban free, single-use carryout bags in retail.
In it, Chain Store Age reports that:

New York City The California State Assembly on Wednesday narrowly approved a bill would make California the first state in the nation to ban single-use plastic and paper bags from being handed out free of charge at supermarkets, drug stores, convenience stores and liquor stores.

Whenever I'm asked,'Plastic or paper?', I ask for plastic. I keep them in a plastic bag, beneath my sink. When the bag gets full, I do a little experimental test; I take them to the barbecue pit and set them on fire.I'm trying to detect a climate warming signal, but so far no luck. The most significant result; my neighbors don't like the smell.

As an experiment, try wrapping one of those bags over your head to see how long it takes for your mini environment to overheat.

I feel that John McCain and the GOP has sunk there teeth in, it's outrageous that there is this witch hunt going on the right about these people of color.Eric Holder, Valerie Jarrett, now Susan Rice. Before it was Van Jones.This is not about who is hawkish in the same way John McCain is about foreign policy because if you look at Iran and Libya, Susan Rice checks those boxes. This is a personal vendetta.

OKAY.........So about the plastic bags.... If you look really, REALLY close, the disclaimer says very clearly not to put them over your head... I think you're suffering severely from lack of oxygen.........

<quoted text>^^^That's a stupid and deadly experiment. I recommend not.

So is burning plastic you idiot, inhaling toxic fumes can be deadly...
